A well-planned front garden changes how your home looks and how it works. In Twickenham, we create crisp entrances, safer paths and tidy driveways that suit everything from match-day traffic near Twickenham Stadium to quieter roads around St Margarets. Expect thoughtful planting, neat boundaries and discreet bin storage that keeps the frontage uncluttered. We work across TW1 and TW2 with designs that look good year-round.
Twickenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes often have compact front plots and tight side access. We’re used to integrating parking without losing greenery, and to reshaping tired lawns into structured planting beds with edging that stays sharp. Where original brickwork or period details matter, we match materials and proportions so the frontage feels authentic. If you’re near Strawberry Hill House or along routes to the riverside, we can also design for heavier footfall and visibility.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear layout plan covering levels, drainage and access. You’ll get a written specification, transparent staging, and tidy working practices to keep disruption low. Our team handles everything from groundwork to lighting and finishing details, with quality checks at each step. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and build front gardens that stay smart for years.
Front gardens in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames often need careful water management, especially where clay soils and older drainage meet new hardstanding. We design permeable options and falls to protect your property and pavement. Access and parking can be tight around TW1, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider conservation-area character where relevant, keeping walls, railings and planting in keeping with local streetscapes.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, a tidy-up with new planting, edging and a refreshed lawn might start from £1,500–£4,000. A new driveway and pathway with drainage can be £6,000–£18,000+, depending on materials and permeable construction. Adding walls, fencing, lighting and bin storage typically adds £1,000–£6,000. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most front garden projects in Twickenham take 3–10 working days. A simple scheme—new beds, turf and a short path—can be completed within a week. Larger jobs involving driveway excavation, new sub-base, drainage, walls and lighting often take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for concrete or mortar, and whether services need locating. We give a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are key rules. New or replaced driveways over 5m² usually need to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property, not the highway. Walls, fences and gates can have height limits, and conservation areas can add constraints. We check your site, advise on compliant drainage, and can help you confirm requirements with Richmond upon Thames planning before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed hard landscaping, such as driveways, paving, walls and edging, when built to our specification. This covers defects related to installation, including movement caused by inadequate sub-base or poor laying. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we explain what’s included in writing. Planting is living material, so we advise on care and can offer maintenance options to help it establish well.
Homeowners often choose permeable block paving or resin-bound gravel for driveways, with porcelain or sandstone for pathways. For boundaries, brick walls with coping, timber slatted fencing, or metal railings suit period homes well. Planting can be formal (evergreen structure) or softer with grasses and seasonal colour, and we can add low-glare lighting for steps and entrances. We’ll guide you through samples, drainage needs and proportions so the design fits your house and street.
